You may be wondering what exactly a heat pump is and how can you benefit from it. Simply put, it is a regular air conditioning unit that can work in reverse. For example, to cool the air in your home, your AC unit will pull the hot air out, circulate it through the system, cool it, and return the newly chilled air back into your home. Heat pumps cool your home like all AC units do but when you switch on the heat during those cold months a very interesting thing happens with heat pumps; the heat pump unit is able to pull heat from the outside air and pump it into your home. Alright, so now you are probably wondering how if it is cold enough outside to need heat, where is the warm air coming from?!? Amazingly, cold air does contain heat and heat pumps can pull even the smallest amount of  heat out of the air.

What makes this good for your energy bills? It takes very little energy for a heat pump to work it’s magic. To find out how much a heat pump will help you save annually, check operating costs and electricity prices with your electric company. In Florida, energy costs to heat and cool a home with a heat pump are generally 25-30% less than conventional heating and cooling systems.

It was perfect timing this weekend for the cool crisp air to come into Orlando. What not a better time for chilly air then during Thanksgiving weekend. Temperatures in Orlando reached around 40 degrees overnight forcing many homes to turn on their heater. It was a cold weekend with beautiful wind and clear skies. Unfortunately the weather is not here to stay. Hopefully you got to give your Orlando heater a little warm up before the cold winter season at the end of December, early January.

If you did run your heater over the weekend and had any problems, be sure to give us a call at Promag Energy Group. We are your source for Orlando AC Repair & new Installation. If your heater or air conditioner is on the fritz, call us today. 407-380-5560.

I realize that it might be early to blog about running your heater, but it never hurts to prepare early. I can only assume that people won’t be running their heaters for at least a couple of more weeks with the average temperatures in Orlando reaching around 85 degrees. Nevertheless, it’s always a good idea to go over any safety precautions before running your heater.

It has probably been a while since you last ran your heater. Possibly February? Make sure that your heating devices are in good working condition and get your unit inspected with a routine maintenance service. Before you crank up your heating unit, get it inspected and serviced by a certified HVAC contractor.

Do you have a space heater that you use during the winter time? Be sure that your space heater has roughly 3 feet of empty space around it. Never place clothes, paper, or other miscellaneous object on or near the space heater. And of course, if you are leaving the house, always turn off your space heater.
